Optimise every aspect of the kitchen with tailor-made solutions for professional catering that combine functionality and design to improve workflow and quality
Every professional kitchen is different because every restaurant, hotel or canteen has specific needs, its own style and distinctive workflow. Large customised kitchens are designed to suit these factors, creating an ideal harmony between design and functionality. A customised layout optimises available space, exploiting every corner strategically to facilitate preparation, cooking and serving.
The organisation of the areas in large professional kitchens
In a large professional kitchen, it is important to minimise movement to reduce staff fatigue and improve efficiency. A well-structured solution follows a logical sequence of operations: storage, preparation, cooking, serving and delivery.
Planning the areas dedicated to each phase reduces the possibility of obstructions and ensures a smooth operational flow. It also allows staff to work comfortably, reducing fatigue during long work sessions. Elements such as workstations, hobs, ovens, fridges and washing areas should be strategically placed in a large professional kitchen to optimise workflow and minimise waiting times and unnecessary travel.
Efficiency and design
The wide surface area of a large professional kitchen can encourage the dispersion of ingredients and utensils. Creating an orderly and clearly defined storage system with shelving and containers is essential to avoid delays or disorganisation. Mobile workstations and trolleys with wheels, equipped with storage compartments that can be positioned in the different operating areas, reduce significantly staff movement.
Although functionality is the priority in a large professional kitchen, aesthetics should not be neglected.
Customised solutions offer a wide range of options in terms of finishes, colours and materials, ensuring that the appearance of the kitchen is in perfect harmony with the design of the restaurant or hotel. A visually pleasing environment stimulates the creativity of chefs and contributes to an overall high quality experience for staff and customers.
High-capacity equipment
The choice of high-capacity equipment is essential in a large professional kitchen. Large ovens are useful for handling large quantities of food at the same time. Double-bowl fryers allow two different types of food to be cooked simultaneously, keeping cooking separate and optimising time. Braising pans with a large capacity are ideal for slow cooking large quantities of meat, vegetables or soups, allowing tasty and uniform preparations.
In large professional kitchens, the pasta cooker is another essential element. It allows many portions of pasta to be cooked at the same time, guaranteeing optimal al dente cooking. Some models are equipped with preset programmes that allow the cooking level to be kept constant and time to be optimised.
Large-capacity cold rooms allow long-term storage of large quantities of food and ingredients, organising them by type or date of use. Equipped with temperature regulation systems, they maintain optimal storage conditions. Refrigerated counters also offer great versatility: in addition to guaranteeing the freshness of ingredients, they facilitate access to the food needed during preparation, speeding up work and improving overall productivity.
